Fish Tacos

Tacos seem to be all the rage lately in the food magazines and restaurants and I can see why they're so popular because they're so versatile, simple to prepare, and the options are endless! I'm more of a soft taco kind of girl and thanks to my friend Joe, I was able to put these tilapia tacos together in no time!

1/2 cubanero pepper (diced) you can also use a small amount of jalapeno

salt/ground pepper

dash of sugar

dash of garlic powder

Other:

1 sliced avocado

Corn tortillas

Preparation:

Place the fish, lime juice, zest, olive oil, salt/pepper, cumin and paprika in a zip lock bag. Marinate for about an hour in the refrigerator. When ready to prepare, heat a grill pan (or frying pan) over medium high heat, and grill each side of the fish for about 3 minutes until done. Flake and serve.

Mango salsa-mix together all the ingredients and add to each taco. Top with avocado and enjoy!
